A release from Sazerac's The Last Drop in April 2025, this is a blend of 22-year-old Japanese whiskies from two casks, each made from Mizunara oak. Only 319 bottles are available, each at a suggested retail price of $5,500. It's bottled at 118.2 proof. The blend includes whisky from Hanyu Distillery, whose liquid is exceptionally rare as the distillery has been shuttered since 2004.

The nose is layered, delicate, really distinctive and gorgeous. Butterscotch, red bean paste, pear, kiwi, cotton candy and a good amount of smoked wood.
Lots of oak plays nicely with tropical notes and trace of spice. A big kiwi note mingles with pear, guava, leather, white pepper, cinnamon and smoke.
Uber-long finish. Smokiness continues, followed by plum, leather, truffle, melted butter, yuzu and white peach.
This is special, spectacular stuff. A rich, delicious, nuanced and flavorful whisky.
